Greetings: I figured I'd try using the drive from an old (not
too old) external drive as a second floppy in my two. So, I got
a bracket from an SE, a cable from a 128, and took popped it in
all cozy and nice. One problem: it doesn't work. When fed a
nice, blank, initialized disk, it says it's unreadable and offers
to initialize it. When I click two-sided, it tries for two
seconds and says "Initialization failed." Suspecting the drive,
I replaced it with another with the same results. I vaguely
recall someone saying something about using too long a cable
being a problem, but mine's about as short as it could be. The
drives work fine as externals on an SE but no go on the II.
Any ideas??? advTHANKSance.
